Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 25.0Sugestão: Give a clear answer first, then explain where or when people ride bikes.

Use linking words such as “for example” and finish your final thought; aim for two or three clear sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among families. For example, at weekends I often see parents and children cycling together in parks and along riverside paths. It is an enjoyable way to exercise and spend time outdoors.
× Yes, my parents buy me a bike when I'm a child.
✓ Yes, my parents bought me a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about a past experience, so use the simple past tense: bought instead of buy and was instead of am. Keep the verbs in the past tense when describing an event from childhood.
× I think it is quite popular in our country.
✓ I think they are quite popular in our country.
The pronoun refers to bikes, which is plural, so use they rather than it. The verb must also agree with the plural pronoun: use are rather than is.
